Mr. President. I invite the attention of my colleagues to this very interesting bill. which will provide U.S. citizenship for certain employees of the Free Europe Committee who because of residence requirements have not been able to be naturalized. My bill provides that any person who has been employed continuously for not less than 5 years by the Free Europe Committee and has had not less than 6 months residence in the United States may be naturalized upon compliance with all the requirements of title III of the Immigration and Naturalization Act except physical residence. Radio Free Europe was organized in 1949 by Americans impelled by the idea that the best way to overcome Communist propaganda in the satellite countries behind the Iron Curtain was to get exiles from those countries to broadcast the message of freedom to the people back home. I have actually seen this operation at Munich and other places.
